Background

Su Chen grew up in a Martial Soul Hall orphanage. At age six, he awakened the Nine Nether Red-Clad Ghost Emperor, accompanied by the Ghost Bride Xiangsi and Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost Hongdou. His awakening releases ghost-evil energy over Martial Soul City and reveals Innate Full Soul Power. 1 2

Recognizing his exceptional potential and innate domains, Pope Qian Xunji places Su Chen in the Martial Soul Hall core as the personal disciple of the Saintess, Bibi Dong. 2

Su Chen possesses memories and knowledge inconsistent with his age, which he attributes internally to having been transported to the Douluo Continent. He uses this knowledge to challenge conventional soul-ring theory, seek immortal herbs, and alter events that he believes would otherwise lead to Martial Soul Hall's destruction. 1 3 10

Appearance

Though still a child during his early academy years, Su Chen is described as unusually striking and aloof.

• Pure snowy-white hair, translucent and frost-like in sunlight. 11
• White complexion and red pupils. 10
• Tall, straight posture and a handsome appearance. 11
• Carries an eerie, distant beauty that draws attention while making others wary. 11

Personality

Su Chen is calm and calculating, even at six years old. He readily accepts Bibi Dong as his teacher because he understands the protection and status offered by Martial Soul Hall. 2

He is highly confident in his own knowledge of martial souls and rejects Yu Xiaogang's speed-focused assessment of the Ghost Emperor. Instead, he favors a path combining power attack, control, and agility techniques. 3

Su Chen is resourceful and strategic in building support. He obtains Whale Rubber to temper his body, seeks the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for immortal herbs, and gives valuable herbs to potential allies such as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ye Lingyuan. 8 10 18 22

Abilities & Skills

Nine Nether Red-Clad Ghost Emperor

Su Chen's martial soul is a powerful humanoid ghost-type martial soul surrounded by dark-red, evil energy. It manifests with two attendant Ghost Concubines: Xiangsi and Hongdou. 1 2

• Possesses Innate Full Soul Power. 1
• Exerts suppression over deceased beings, which Bibi Dong cites as the reason he can bear an exceptional second soul ring. 16
• Its intended cultivation path combines power attack, spirit control, and agility rather than focusing only on speed. 3
• The martial soul's evil and ghostly qualities make it difficult for others to analyze or resonate with. 2 4

Nine Nether Lovesickness Ghost Domain

An innate prototype domain possessed from awakening. 2

• Permanently weakens all enemy attributes by 15%.
• Its weakening effect cannot be cleansed through soul power or spiritual power.
• Increases Su Chen's attributes by 5% every half hour while active. 2

• The Ghost Bride entangles and kills through emotional evil.
• The Ghost Celestial Master seals through talismans. 2

Dream of Millet

Su Chen's first soul skill, gained from a more-than-600-year Dream Shadow Spider soul ring. 5

• Pulls a target's consciousness into an illusion or dream-like life experience. 6
• Can create an experience lasting decades from the target's perspective. 7 8
• Its effects may continue to influence the target after waking because the dream feels longer and more substantial than reality. 8

• Can freeze an entire thread-covered area for ten minutes.
• Its effective restraint limit against stronger opponents remains untested. 15

Ghost Concubines

Xiangsi and Hongdou are attendant followers connected directly to Su Chen's martial soul. Their soul power and rings rise alongside his own, and they increasingly display independent thought and speech. 1 6 16

• Ghost Bride Xiangsi — wields a red oil-paper umbrella and manifests the Sea of Other Shore Flowers, creating a flower-petal tornado that drains life force and soul power to nourish its user. 2 6
• Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost Hongdou — carries talismans and can summon undead through her first soul skill. 2 16
• Both followers reach level 24 Soul Grand Master alongside Su Chen after his second ring. 16
